" I have been back to Harbor City Tacoma multiple times and it never disappoints. The food in this small restaurant is bursting with authentic flavors. The sweet and sour chicken was the best I've ever had, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The ordering system is modern, using QR codes, which I loved. Although it can get crowded, the staff manages well, so I never felt neglected. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Took a friend to Harbor City Tacoma for their first dim sum experience, and they were blown away by the food! Every dish was flavorful and cooked to order. The ordering process via the QR code was slick, and our meals arrived in a timely fashion. While the seat arrangements could be improved for a cozier dining experience, I would still go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" A really neat experience at Harbor City Tacoma — the QR code ordering was a welcomed modern touch, though I do miss the traditional dim sum carts. The dumplings were hot but could use a little more filling for my taste. The staff were friendly but seemed quite busy during my visit. Overall, nice addition to Tacoma's dining scene but could improve a bit more on service quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" An overall delightful experience! The dumplings were tasty and fresh—the best I’ve found around. Service was commendable, though the décor could use some improvements, as it felt a bit dingy. I would come back just for the food, honestly, but a better ambiance would put it over the top! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I went to Harbor City and we were impressed! The food was well-cooked, and the dumplings were so tasty! We loved the chili oil used in various dishes, providing a kick of flavor. The service was quick, and our food arrived in a timely manner. I look forward to returning and trying more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits to Harbor City Tacoma, I can confidently say it offers some of the best dim sum around! The flavors are spot on and remind me of Hong Kong cuisine. However, the dining area could use some renovation as it feels dated, and sometimes the service can lag during peak hours. Regardless, I will keep returning for that authentic taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes for Harbor City Tacoma given its reputation, but I was somewhat let down. While the dumplings were tasty and steaming hot, the service seemed overwhelmed. I noticed staff rushing around without adequately checking in on tables. There were good options on the menu, but for the price, I expected larger portions, especially with the dumplings. It’s a cozy local spot, but improvements in service would make it much better. " (*Curated Review*)
